Re: How to change my 64 bit sims 4 game to a 32 bit?

@qnz1bvvqioef  The EA App doesn't currently work with the 32-bit version of Sims 4.  So you'll need to go back to Origin for the moment.  You can download it by using the link here:

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Origin-Client-Web-Technical/Downloading-and-installing-Origin-Windows-and-Mac/m-p/11915666

You can have both Origin and the EA App installed on your computer at the same time; you just can't run both at the same time.  If you get an error when trying to install or open Origin, restart your computer, or open the Task Manager and kill the EABackgroundService.exe.

    @qnz1bvvqioef  Open your Origin game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, select Game Properties, then Advanced Launch Options, and choose the 32-bit Legacy Edition from the dropdown menu.

  • But then it's going to ask me to download the Sims 4 legacy on origin and I search it up but nothing pop up and it's so annoying. Please if you know help for this problem let me know

    @100009999999999  The Legacy Edition used to be listed under Extra Content when you're viewing the main Sims 4 page in your game library.  But it appears to be gone now, which is what I'd expect given EA announced a month or two ago that the LE would be discontinued.

    Why are you trying to switch to the 32-bit version of Sims 4?  If you've already run the standard edition on this computer, you can continue to do so.  My advice was for someone who specifically wanted to run the LE for whatever reason.

    I am trying to change it because the game says to change it and the game is also super laggy, is there a way to make it work?
